Pest Cleanup in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland

You don’t know until you ask, and we have a few questions:

When was the last time you were in your attic or crawlspace? Are you aware if your home has had rodents harboring inside in the past? Have you started to notice a smell in your home and not sure what it is?

Physical Damage

Rodent teeth never stop growing; the solution? Gnaw on anything and everything within reach. If their home is your home, chances are damage is being done to your property.

Pipe: According to Mohs scale of mineral hardness, a rat’s teeth are harder than iron or steel, and are easily able to gnaw through substances like cinder-block and wood. Pipes being chewed can lead to water damage.

Health Hazards

Droppings: Rats excrete 20-50 droppings per day, while a single mouse can account for 40-100.

Urine: Rodents use urine to mark their territory, mating partners, dominance, and even their food.

The disease may spread through direct contact from person to person, but it is extremely rare

Did you know? As much as 50% of the air you and your family breathe inside your home comes directly from the crawlspace.

The air that’s in your crawl space is cycled through the rest of your home, courtesy of the (a.k.a. chimney effect). This stack effect is the movement of air in your home. As you know, warm air rises. This is because it’s less dense than cold air. As the warm air rises it brings with it particles of dust, mold, rodent fecal matter and any other nastiness that’s hanging out in your crawl space. As warm air exits your home through chimneys or cracks in your attic, it creates suction. This pulls up the cool air and the cycle continues.
